Community Adviser

We’re an ambitious charity determined to deliver quality services to our communities. Each year we improve the lives of tens of thousands of local people from across Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale and Trafford by sharing information and offering advice, support and guidance.

In the role as a Community Adviser you will be working on the food bank project based in Oldham, with minimal supervision. You’ll have experience of interviewing clients using sensitive listening and questioning skills to get to the root of the issues and empower clients, whilst maintaining structure and control of meetings. You will ideally have a demonstrable understanding and knowledge of Social Welfare Law advice in one of the following areas of law; Welfare Benefit, Money, Energy, Housing, Immigration.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to make a difference to people's lives, supporting some of the most vulnerable people in society - helping them find a way forward.

We value diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination. We encourage and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups, as they are currently under-represented in our workforce.
